When Jen woke up, her entire body was aching. She yawned as she unsuccessfully tried to stretch herself and buried herself in Lucas' embrace once more. Lucas hugged her tighter when he felt her move and his eyes cracked open.
"Awake?" he asked, his voice sounding deeper and huskier after waking up.
"Mmmh," Jen answered and yawned again. Lucas reached for his phone and checked the ti and saw that it was already midday. His flight was going to be at night, he was also using the private plane, so he didn't have to worry too much about being late.
"It's late, we should get up," Lucas said and kissed her forehead. Jen rubbed her eyes as she looked up at him. Thinking that she looked too cute, he leaned over and pecked her lips.
"I'm going to shower first," Jen said after a pause. She was so sore from overdoing it last night, if she stayed in bed longer, she knew that she would not be able to avoid doing it once more.
Lucas let her go with a low chuckle and watched as she rolled out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. Closing the door behind her.
Jen took off the t-shirt she was wearing and jumped into the shower after brushing her teeth to get rid of the drowsiness she was feeling. When she got out, she saw her reflection in the mirror and felt indignant.
She groaned as she looked at all the hickeys Lucas left on her body and glared at her reflection. They had gone overboard the previous night.
She had passed out at so point and only vaguely rembered being in the shower while slumped against Lucas, but even then; she was too tired to move and just let him do whatever he wanted.
Jen wrapped a towel around herself and walked out of the bathroom. Lucas was still laying in bed when she got out. He looked up from his phone when he heard her get out of the bathroom and whistled when he saw her. He got off the bed and approached her, pushing her wet hair aside to look at her neck.
Jen narrowed her eyes as she looked at him but couldn't get mad at him, because he too had his fair share of bruising from all the biting and scratching she did yesterday.
A warm finger traced along her cool skin as he examined one of the marks he left, causing Jen to shudder.
"I'm going to get dressed," Jen said to him and went to the dressing room, closing the door behind her. Lucas looked at the closed door with a faint smile on his face as he rubbed his fingertips together. He turned and went to the bathroom as he untied the strings on his pyjama bottoms.
When Lucas walked into their dressing room, he found Jen applying concealer to the hickeys on her neck and shoulders. She sat with her back facing the mirror as she tried to blend the product.
"What are you doing?" Lucas asked her as he picked out the clothes he was going to wear.
"It's too hot for to cover myself with a scarf, or wear a turtleneck," Jen said as she turned back around to look at her reflection.
"Who cares, it's not like we are children here. Lucas said as he took off his towel. Jen paused what she was doing and looked at him through the mirror. The view didn't last long because he pulled up his boxers.
When Lucas turned around, their eyes t through the mirror and Jen looked away with reddened cheeks. Lucas laughed in amusent when he saw that she got shy and put on a pair of shorts.
"How do you still get shy after all that we did last night?" Lucas asked her as he shrugged on his shirt.
"You don't say anything," Jen said as she cleared her throat.
"I'm going downstairs first," she said, and got out of the dressing room. Lucas watched as she left and buttoned up his shirt while smiling.
When Jen walked out of her room, she t Alex, who was also getting out of her room while rubbing her forehead. She was clearly hungover.
"Morning," Jen said as she looked at her young sister.
"Morning sis, I think I'm about to die," Alex complained as she sat on the smaller living room in Lucas' wing.
"Rough night?" Jen asked and Alex chuckled.
"No, it was fun. If it wasn't fun I wouldn't be facing retribution right now," Alex said as she groaned.
"You should have sothing first, that'll make you feel better," Jen said as she brought her a bottle of water and forced her to stand. Like this, the two sisters walked down the stairs.
"It seems you also had a lot of fun," Alex said and pointed at Jen's neck that was slathered with makeup.
"Sh," Jen said and put a finger on her lips. Alex pushed her hands away and looked at Jen knowingly.
"Why are you embarrassed? I'm actually jealous, I've been single forever," Alex complained and got smacked on the shoulder and her expression changed. She gave Jen a sharp look before walking faster than her towards the noise. Jen sighed as she followed behind her leisurely.
When Jen got to the dining area, she saw many people who were nursing their hangovers. All except Jas, who was holding a glass of wine. It was very comical if you thought about it. Laura was even wearing glasses.
When she was permitted to drink the previous night, she ended up overindulging herself. She did so silly things when she was with Jas, and Jas let her do what she wanted. There was no point in arguing with a drunk person.
Jen greeted everyone as she went to an empty seat and sat down. Not long after, Lucas ca downstairs too and sat down next to Jen. Alex, who was sitting next to Jen gasped and stared at his arm.
"Sis, isn't it pointless if you just conceal yourself? Look at your handiwork," she said and pointed at Lucas' arm that was covered with scratch marks and even half a bite mark peaked under his sleeve. Jen felt mortified when she saw this and pulled down his arm from the table.
Lucas looked at her and almost laughed when he saw her panicked expression. She stared at his arm for a few seconds before looking up at him.
"It's too hot, I couldn't cover everything," Lucas said in a low voice so only she could hear. The marks didn't bother him at all, but his girlfriend looked like she wanted to slip under the table.
"Relax Jen, no one cares," Lucas whispered in her ear as he looked up at the server that brought them their al. Jen had her head down in embarrassnt, but later when no one ntioned it, she got more comfortable. That was until Jason ca downstairs.
"Which one of you took my unlabeled bottle of liquor?" he asked as a greeting.
"Unlabeled?" Leanna asked, and he nodded as he sat down opposite Jen and Lucas.
"Oh? Never mind, I already know," he said and pointedly looked at the couple in front of him.
"What was it anyway? Where did you buy it?" Lucas asked him curiously.
"I waited for three months for that drink. I was only hoping that soone would have a couple of drinks of it and at least leave so. But after returning this morning, the whole thing was missing," Jason complained and Lucas laughed.
"I'll compensate you," Lucas said with a smile.
"You think I don't have money?" Jason asked, clearly aggrieved.
"What was in it?" Brian asked a question everyone wanted to know. Jen had been silent the whole ti and kept her head down.
"So I heard from one of my friends that there was soone who brewed liquors from aphrodisiac foods-" Jason started but was cut off by a violent cough from Jen.
She had been genuinely shocked. She could have guessed everything but that. No wonder things were so strange last night. She was so surprised that she ended up choking on her water. Now she felt even more embarrassed.
"Are you okay?" Lucas asked as he patted her back. Jen nodded twice before shaking her head. Of course, she was not okay, she was embarrassed to death!
It took a while until she cald down. She thought the topic would end there and everyone would forget about it.
"Anyway. They said he uses natural ingredients only, and that it was not too potent if it wasn't consud excessively," Jason continued.
Jen and Lucas:
"I didn't believe it, of course, I've heard stories of foods with those properties but haven't had them really work. But they said since this was alcohol, the potency would be much higher than when you eat food. So tell , how was it? Did it work?" Jason asked the couple and Lucas nodded before Jen could stop him. Jen lay on the table giving up on doing anything.
"It actually tasted really nice. Give the number of the manufacturer," Lucas said as he chuckled while patting Jen's back.
"Okay, but did you have to go drink all of it? Gosh, you guys must have been wild last night," Jason said and received a smack from Jas.
"That's enough, she is clearly embarrassed enough," Jas reprimanded, but a faint smile was on his lips.
It would have been fine if you didn't point it out! Jen scolded in her heart as she finally looked up at the two brothers.
"You send that number to all of us," Jas said and cleared his throat.
He had noticed the marks on Lucas' arms and after hearing what Jason said, he finally understood what happened, and he himself got curious. He would save the drink for when he took that ultimate step with Laura. Laura who wasn't paying attention to what was going on didn't know what was in store for her.
Brian and David had also noticed Lucas but said nothing. But now they were also quite curious about what that drink can do. Nancy had also only recently beco sexually active only because she had caught David unawares on Christmas.
It had been a struggle, but once they did it, their relationship had changed, and she didn't have to be the one to start physical contact as much anymore. Now that this mystery drink appeared, she wanted to try it too.
When her eyes t David's it was like he could read her thoughts. Her cheeks turned red as if she got caught doing sothing bad, making David smile at her.
